TEXMF = "{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFSYSTEM,!!$TEXMFMAIN}", .... OPENTYPEFONTS = ".;$TEXMF/fonts/{data,opentype}//;$OSFONTDIR", So, should I add two !! infront of $TEXMFHOME in $TEXMF (and $OSFFONTDIR in $OPENTYPEFONTS) to ensure that $TEXMFHOME and $OSFFONTDIR are scanned for names?
